Car: 2008 Sentra SE-R Spec V

Post

So I am going to pick up my first car in a few days. Its an 08 Sentra SE-R Spec V with 74,500 miles. The car is running 75 shot of NOS, but the purge solenoid gets stuck open when its used. It's also got Megan headers, lightweight pulleys, tanabe lowering springs, and an AFR gauge. I purchased the car for 6,000. Any tips for this car and any problems that are common that I should be aware of? Thanks!

Welcome aboard, VInce!

Love the B16 Spec - Great car. Your biggest concern is going to be how it was treated by the prior owner, considering you don't just dump a shot of NOS into an engine without tuning...

I'm sure more B16 owners will chime in, but I think the first thing I'd do is give it a complete "spa day" - inspection on a lift, change ALL fluids, check for codes, and pull the plug to look at their condition.

Eager to hear what you find out.
